A new lesson plan was piloted with local schools in the period leading up to Mother's Day to help schools to play a vital role in supporting and educating children about death and dying. The lesson plan has been designed to be used by teachers in primary schools.

The pilot resulted in the children producing portraits of their mother or special person which were displayed at the Launch Event at the Sladmore Contemporary Art Gallery in London on 12^th March 2009.

Dorney School, Bucks, St Andrew's Primary, Oxford, West Wycombe Combined School, Bucks, and Maidenhead Nursery, Berks, took part and circa 300 portraits were exhibited.
